Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 “You see the funny side of this?” Greg grinned as Nick assisted him to his apartment.
The yellow police tape was still hanging on the outside of the door, but neither of them
had the energy to go tear it off.
“What funny side?” Nick placed Greg on the couch and started pulling his shoes off.
“”That looney tried to break in here, and you decided I cant come back. Instead you
took me to your place. The same place, to where the above mentioned looney had
a spare key. After a trip to hospital we end up here. We could have saved time and
come straight here.”
“Be grateful you’re home, my place still looks like a battleground.”
“Good, then you’re not in a hurry to go back there.”
“I’m not. I’m on mandatory psych leave for two weeks.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. After that the department shrink will evaluate me, and decide if I’m good
enough to go back to work.”
“Can we talk about something else? Is there any food here? All the stuff I had is
probably old now.”
“I got some things before I came to get you from the hospital. You wanna eat now?”
“What do you have?”
“What do you want?”
“Noodles.”
“I knew it…. I got some of those too.”
“What flavor?”
“I don’t know. Does it matter?”
“You complained half an hour about shrimps in your pizza, I have a right to be picky
about my noodles. I just got out of the hospital, I’m recuperating, I`m entitled to be
cranky, moody, woolly, horny and pervy. And if you bought those spinach flavor ones,
I’m sending you straight back to your own apartment.”
“That’s cruel.”
“But fair. Are you gonna help me up?”
“I’m considering the pros and cons…."
“Not funny. I cant tie my own shoelaces, and my boyfriend refuses to help me.”
“Boyfriend?”
“You got something against it?”
“No, that was just the first time you used that term.”
“It wasn’t actually. I used it in the hospital, when I had to discipline a certain
nurse who had her eyes on you.”
“Which one? The redhead?”
“The sixty-something one, who had loose dentures. And that title `boyfriend`
is very useful when I need to guilt you to do something.
“It’s pretty effective.”
“Isn’t it?” Greg beamed. “Now get me up and feed me.”
------------------------------------------------
“You sure you’re good? You want me to get you something?”
“For the sixth time, no.” Greg grunted and leaned against his pillows. “I just need
my night meds, and you to shut up so I can sleep. Get the pills and get your ass
into bed.”
“Okay.” Nick handed him assortment of pills.
“Thanks.” Greg gulped down his meds. “And ignore me if I act like a total bitch.”
“Well, not total…. yet.” Nick grinned. He sneaked under the covers and snuggled
against Greg. “Sleepy.”
“I’m taking six different meds, I’m always sleepy.” He twisted himself a bit, so that
he could press against Nick. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Just when
Nick was about to fall asleep, Greg started laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“I though all those meds would keep the little guy down.” Greg pushed his groin
against Nick’s thigh. “I’m proud of myself.”
“You should be.” Nick chuckled.
“Yep, meds don’t even have a chance against my legendary libido.”
“I think I had something to do with that too.”
“Maybe a really small part. Woooowww… that sounded pretty lewd.”
“It did, and my part is not small.”
“It isn’t. It’s exactly the opposite.” Greg laughed. “But I don’t know if I can
actually do anything to it right now.”
“No hurry, G. We got all the time in the world.”
“Well, we haven’t really done anything serious yet. As much as I would like to
take things further, I really don’t want to fall asleep in the middle of it.”
“And I would like to wait until I can touch you all over without hurting you.”
“And until I don’t need you to play nursie. Actually… that could be fun. You
think we could go to a costume store tomorrow?”
“I doubt you’ll be well enough for that tomorrow.”
“But you would look hot in a nurse`s outfit. You got really nice legs.”
“Thanks, but I’m not getting into a dress.”
“You expect me to wear a dress? You wanna be the one who wears trousers
in this relationship?” Greg giggled.
“How did we go from your hard-on to cross dressing?”
“Very easily. So, you don’t want to see me in a dress?”
“No, I like you the way you are.”
“That was probably the best compliment I`ve had for a long time. And I
like you the way you are, too.”
“Good.” Nick gave him a kiss.
“But if you got a cowboy hat somewhere, I would like to see you with it….”
“I can arrange that tomorrow.” Nick yawned. “Good night.”
“Good nigh, Nicky-Wicky.”
“Don’t call me that.”
